Does anyone else feel awful in big apartments (lemmy.world)

If an apartment has high ceilings and big rooms it gives me anxiety. I'm not sure if it's because I tie it to traumatic experiences of what.

In my big apartment that I rented I felt awful and had anxiety. It also has light colours everywhere.

The little one felt cozier and had darker colours.

Has anyone had a similar experience? I don't know what to do cause I'm stuck in the bigger one until the lease is up

Add more color. Paint your walls if you're allowed to.

I'm scared and idk what colour would work.. maybe like a very dark blue accent wall for the bedroom?

That's the neat thing about paint. It's very easy to change the color if it doesn't work out.

If you want commitment free pizazz, find some removable wallpaper in a cozy color.

Darker colors make it more cozy. Light colors make it feel more like a hospital. Green, brown, sand colors, dark blue, dark grey maybe. Just slam something on the wall and check how it feels. You can always paint it again.
